Turmeric For Cancer Prevention - Another New Hope in Its Treatment

Posted on March 24, 2009

Turmeric for cancer prevention is another new hope using nutraceuticals. Turmeric is a substance that has been used for thousands of years among Asian nations for the treatment of many diseases.

Western scientists have taken a much keener interest in turmeric, along with other plant based nutrient phytochemicals in assessing their potential on various forms of disease. One area of research, where terrific, results have been shown when using curcumin is on different forms of cancer.

Multiple tests on different cancer types have had the following results:

1. It has been shown to stop the growth of existing prostate cancer cells and also to show prevention of cancer cells forming.

2. It has been shown to stop breast cancer spreading into the lungs of mice.

The reason turmeric for cancer prevention is able to arrest the spread of the melanoma cells is by stopping new blood vessels growing in the cells without which the cancer cells die.

There are still plenty of on going studies into how turmeric for cancer can benefit other affected organs. Preventing the spread of leukemia in children is also another area where turmeric can be used.

Last year a good friend of mine was talking about taking turmeric along with some other nutrients as part of a supplement. I didn’t pay much attention at first because I was not personally interested in taking supplements. I am one of those people who believed that I could get enough nourishment from the food that I ate. I must admit I hadn’t given much thought to phytochemcials and secondary plant metabolites that could offer great protection to the body though.

After a little convincing and some research I decided to try the supplement that my friend was taking because it has over 70 life enhancing ingredients that are perfectly blended to keep homeostasis within the body, increase energy, turn back the aging clock and give great protection from cancer and other illnesses.

These supplements are great and I am so glad that I started taking them myself.

    I agree that turmeric is an excellent food for helping to overcome cancer. Essentially, this ancient and time proven spice is an anti-inflammatory plus it enhances liver function. And to the extent that it does these things, turmeric creates an environment within the body that,in effect, suppresses the underlying cancer PROCESS.

    Thanks very much for citing turmeric, a food that would certainly be a benefit to all of us if we ate more of it.

    Please see my book, “Cancer’s Best Medicine - A Self-Help and Wellness Guide”, second edition.
